AMCA International announced that the Board of Standards Review of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) approved the following document on December 2, 2009: ANSI/AMCA STANDARD 520-09, Laboratory Methods for Testing Actuators. This standard establishes an industry standard for minimum rating and testing of actuators used on fire/smoke dampers. The testing requirements for ANSI/AMCA Standard 520-09 will cover torque or force rating, long-term holding, operational life, elevated temperature performance, periodic maintenance, production, and sound testing for both pneumatic and electric operators.
